Community Groups Reach Out to Walmart Workers

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)DC Jobs With Justice and Respect DC volunteers made several visits to both DC Walmart stores last week to do “know your rights” outreach on Walmart workers' rights to the new minimum wage and paid sick days in the District. “We're going to continue this outreach throughout the year to make sure that workers know the community supports them,” says DC Jobs with Justice Solidarity Organizer Ari Schwartz. Reach him at ari@dcjwj.org or 202-543-1540 to get involved in the outreach or Respect DC.
